Traditional funeral
A viewing and ceremony before burial or cremation. The most itemized option - and the one where comparing line by line matters most.
Typical line items
- Basic services fee, transfer, embalming and other preparation, viewing, the ceremony, hearse and other vehicles.
- Casket and outer burial container prices vary widely; the price list must show ranges.
When you compare
- Ask for the itemized General Price List, not only a package price. You may decline items you do not want.
- Embalming is not automatically required; ask what the provider requires for the arrangements you choose.
